Time Goes On

We wish our life away each day
The weekend is what we wait for
And no matter what we say
Waiting is such a bore.

Then you find the older you get
The faster time seems to go
We need to cherish every little bit
Needing the time to repay what we owe.

God has a plan that we don’t know
So live to the fullest each minute you can
When it comes time His plan he will show
Then you will wish through life you hadn’t run.

Stop and adore your maker of man
He is the one who gives you the time
To sit and watch the grass grow while you can
Wasting what He gives you would be a crime.

Make sure you constantly pray
Don’t just do it once each day
Give your time to God’s work
Then you won’t feel like a shirk

Don’t forget to give the devil his due
You have to fight him everyday too.
He is always there just waiting
To help you along with your hating.

He would like to defeat God you know
For he is our Savior’s deadly foe
He is always waiting and looking for lost souls
That is only one of his goals.

Pray to God as much as you can
That He will save the soul of every man
For if you are lost you are on the slope
Sliding down fast without a rope.

Let God catch you in his net
And save your soul even yet
Ask for forgiveness and believe in your heart
That Jesus died for you and did depart

That He came back and left once more
So that He could even the score
Now He is waiting in Heaven above
Ready to share his great love.
